VB Sleeper should be the apt one for replacing the Rajdhani. Due to better acceleration and Comfort compared to LHB coaches.
No doubt in it.... Just that, Tejas Rajdhani is a private train and VB sleeper will be sarkari, I want a train from both sector to exist simultaneously. And IRCTC is not buying VB sleeper anytime soon.... With more trains, either you can have more routes, or more trains on profitable routes.... Which is not a bad option....

Unless and until we have new tracks constructed which can cater to sub 200Km/hr speed, the incoming Vande Bharat wont change Indian railways in terms of speed or delays. making faster trains without track is like putting horse before the cart, won't give the assumed ROI!!

Immediate aim is not to increase the absolute speed and reduce delays. But to increase the quality of travel, coaches and environment.
Also to introduce newer upto date manfucaturing process and tech in the Railway Coach factories.

Also, the track alignment and improvement process is on going in almost all tracks where VB are running to ensure smoother and faster travel.

I love those sleek lines of the RRTS trainsets. Wish Vande Bharat could look like that.
